I wasnt kidding when I said I love you
I meant it with all my heart
All my soul
With all of me
you are my world
don't pretend not to see
how happy I am
how in love I am
how much I want to be with you
because I love you is hard
but with you it comes easy

wherever you may go
wherever you may be
I will stay with you
through any tribulation
through any fight
ill wait for you
ill stay up all night
because even if we scream at each other
fight like we don't want to be together
feel like we're crashing
I know we were meant to last
I know that you are my last
because my heart chases you
and wherever you may go

i can still remember the night
that you came home and you weren't sober
and you loving arms that excepted me
and where always there to comfort
turned in to fists that never wanted a daughter
and they beat me till i learned not to struggle

i can still remember the day
that you came home and you started drinking
and your loving eyes that welcomed me
and were always happy
turned into anger that should have never had a child
and bore wholes into me till I gave up

im a mess
im a wreck
im a broken toy

ive been discarded
been ******* up
been abused

but I'm still kind
I'm still happy
I'm still strong

your life begins
when you take flight on tattered wings
that cant get you very high
that cant fly you very far
but you just kept on pushing
kept on fighting
kept on soaring in the sky

and look at you know
your wings completely healed
a perfect bird that toured the world
because you never quit
and you fought through the hurt
and now your so perfect
and know your so happy

Trauma lights you on fire
Burns everything in its wake
Till every nerve is fried
Till every cell is on fire
It keeps you in your own personal cell
Where you have no company
Except for the thousand of thoughts
That keep taking hold
That refuse to let go
The question is
Do you let the fire burn you down
Or do you burn brighter like the Phoenix
And rise from your ashes

Shallow waters are loud
Whipping flowing
Screaming begging to be heard
Begging to be the center of attention
Like how you
Whip me with your words
Flowing from your mouth
Screaming at me begging to be heard
Begging to center of attention

While deep waters are quiet
Screaming in there silence
Begging to stay hidden
Like how I
Was always quiet
Screaming in silence to be loved
But knowing my need to be hidden
In a lot of ways we are like water
